Inside Doris Day's Tragic First Marriage with a Man Who Turned Her Life into Hell
All Doris Day ever wanted was to be a wholesome housewife, but after ignoring her better judgment and that of her mother, she married the man who would turn her dream into a nightmare.
It was 1940 when 18-year-old Doris Kappelhoff impressed bandleader Barney Rapp and earned a spot in the band that regularly performed in Cincinnati.
Barney thought that Doris’s name sounded too Jewish and long, but after she performed the song “Day After Day,” Barney re-named her Doris Day, a name that stuck throughout her life.
Al Jorden, the band’s trombonist, caught a liking in Doris, but at first, she wanted nothing to do with him and told her mother, Alma, “He's a creep and I wouldn't go out with him if they were giving away gold nuggets at the movie!”
Her mother agreed that the 23-year-old temperamental Al Jorden was not the one for her much younger daughter Doris, but this would soon change.
